Interesting quotes from ASUC President Primm in ANG Papers:

Associated Students President Kris Cuaresma-Primm adds that as many as half of the new students fresh out of high school arrive with college credits earned in "AP," or advanced placement, courses. "Although they're in their first year at UC Berkeley, they may actually be almost a sophomore or even a junior," Cuaresma-Primm said.

"And there are those of us, like me, who came in on the 'dumb jock program.' We may have been here four years, but we're still juniors. So that's why we don't think of ourselves as freshmen or whatever."

Cuaresma-Primm, who was elected student body president last spring, says he's a "sixth year" senior. "I came on a wrestling scholarship," he said.....

Cuaresma-Primm told the assembled new students that Berkeley indeed is a special place. "Elements were discovered here," he said. "The co-founder of Apple Computer (Steve Wozniak), the one and only Beaver of "Leave It To Beaver" (Jerry Mathers), and the original Incredible Hulk (Bill Bixby) ... were all UC Berkeley graduates," Cuaresma-Primm said.

The experience at Cal may change you, he added. "How many of you have attended an anti-war rally? How many have seen a naked, 60-year-old hippie? An animal rights protest?

"You may see all of that on the way to your next class," he said. "Let me be honest with you. I don't know how they got me up here in this suit. If you're a freshman, sign up for your free football season tickets, and vote no on Prop. 54. And who knows, you might be the next Naked Guy at Cal. We haven't had one for a long time.

The Free Freshman Season Tickets deal is a new one.. I don't think it was available a few weeks ago.Email This Post!
